The Detail's core areas of investigation include health, education, politics, justice & crime, government accountability, and the legacy of conflict in Northern Ireland.

We draw funding from philanthropic, public and private sources, with recent project funders including our parent company Below The Radar Ltd, BIG Lottery NI, Atlantic Philanthropies and the Community Relations Council.

We can then maximise our ability to fuel progressive debate by providing our work for free to the public and by cooperating with other media outlets.

Media platforms can request permission to republish our content by contacting our Editor on [email protected] and giving prominent reference to The Detail as being the source of any republished content.

We are dedicated to fair, accurate reporting, but we are not neutral on the issues of the day, in that we believe public service journalism should promote accountability, equality and good government.

We want to challenge dominant narratives that are at odds with the facts, by producing reports and analysis that can change the conversation.
